Cultivation of Rhubarb in Alley Cropping Tree Tows

The study aims to explore the potential of cultivating rhubarb in the underutilized spaces of alley cropping systems.
Identified tree species suitable for alley cropping
Developed techniques for rhubarb cultivation beneath tree canopies
Assessed weed management strategies in agroforestry settings
Enhanced space utilization within agroforestry systems
Improved weed control in rhubarb cultivation
Demonstrated feasibility of intercropping rhubarb with trees

In agroforestry systems, the space between and beneath tree canopies remains underutilized and can lead to challenges in weed control.
